PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Don Juan Matus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abraham Donowitz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Matus kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Crow Spirit. Donowitz has chosen JEW FLOW as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
