PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Stephen Steve (ranked 556 p4p, 1029 weight class) and Master Leader (ranked 73 p4p, 138 weight class). Leader has chosen Champions - Kanye West (ft Travis Scott, Quavo, etc…) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
