PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jason Sturd Jr (ranked 873 p4p, 123 weight class) and Roy Batty (ranked 2666 p4p, 320 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sturd Jr might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Waka Flocka Flame - 50K (Neon Dreams Remix). Batty has chosen I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
