PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Santos (ranked 4146 p4p, 416 weight class) and Marcus Kempton (ranked 5758 p4p, 474 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Santos might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Nazareth- Let Me Be Your Leader. Marcus Kempton has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
