PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Master Leader (ranked 1044 p4p, 1855 weight class) and Bubba Rolls (ranked 147 p4p, 248 weight class). Leader comes into the arena with Champions - Kanye West (ft Travis Scott, Quavo, etc…) blaring out of the sound system. Rolls has chosen Moonshine Bandits - For The Outlawz 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.
