PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Etienne Learmont (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Booker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Learmont comes to the cage accompanied by Deftones - Rocket Skates. Booker is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Dont go for the one - Gaelic Storm. 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.
