PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between James Yarborough (ranked 361 p4p, 654 weight class) and Hunter Broderick (ranked 39 p4p, 74 weight class). Yarborough kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Derezzed. Broderick has chosen Mind by Savanah as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
