PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Seamus O Brien (ranked 417 p4p, 521 weight class) and D.C. Benny (ranked 58 p4p, 72 weight class). O Brien kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Pantera - The Great Southern Trendkill. Benny comes into a darkened arena with his song building. D.C. Benny - Unagi Standup Bit kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
