PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Charles Young (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Keith Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Young's entrance music is Shut 'Em Down. A fine choice. Stone comes into a darkened arena with his song building. I like BEER! Tom T. Hall kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
