PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Banderleii Showgun (ranked 4553 p4p, 24452 weight class) and Edward Sleon (ranked 466 p4p, 548 weight class). Showgun comes into the arena with Sandstorm blaring out of the sound system. Sleon has chosen Shabba Madda Pot - Dexta Daps as his entrance music. Sleon has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
