AD158: Harder They Fall PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tony Jaa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antonio Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jaa's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Anna Molly by Incubus. Davis has chosen Franz Ferdinand - Ulysses 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.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kim Young Il (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carver Cade (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
