PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ben Kingsley (ranked 2820 p4p, 2972 weight class) and Andrew Childers (ranked 346 p4p, 362 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kingsley might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Where the Streets Have No Name - U2. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
