PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kev Richards (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Seamus Brady (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Richards might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to "Bad Things" by Jace Everett. Brady has chosen Killer on the loose as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
