PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Landon Miller (ranked 6191 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kabyn Palmer (ranked 23318 p4p, 0 weight class). Miller's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, ASM (A State of Mind) - Masking feat. MF DOOM. The crowd seem to be enjoying Palmer's choice of entrance music: i'm a cow. 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.
