PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Danny Blake (ranked 1020 p4p, 1285 weight class) and Xavier Dayton (ranked 121 p4p, 155 weight class). Blake kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Si Cranstoun - Dynamo. Dayton has chosen Da Rockwilder as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
