PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ronnie Bass (ranked 492 p4p, 558 weight class) and Ceedee Queen (ranked 74 p4p, 81 weight class). Bass kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Down With The Sickness. 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.
