PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Buster White (ranked 3485 p4p, 4070 weight class) and Pitt Longstaff (ranked 430 p4p, 494 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think White might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Whiskey Myers - Stone. Longstaff has chosen Death Grips - Bottomless Pit as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Buster White had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
