PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ranger Alderidge (ranked 26 p4p, 137 weight class) and Kurt Cobain (ranked 5 p4p, 23 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Alderidge might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Portland, Oregon. Cobain has chosen Smells Like Teen Spirit as his entrance music. Ranger Alderidge has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
