AJFC 65 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dave Dickinson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Miyamoto Musashi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dickinson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Harvester of Sorrow. Dave Dickinson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.9lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Dave Dickinson is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
