PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mag Ne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stephen Learmont (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ne might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Blå and Black - Nephew. The crowd seem to be enjoying Learmont's choice of entrance music: Krallice - Wretched Wisdom. Stephen Learmont has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
