PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ben Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kennedy Embers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stone's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, SWEET JANE. Embers is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Settle For Nothing by RATM. Kennedy Embers is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
