PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Master Leader (ranked 365 p4p, 271 weight class) and Jacob Parker (ranked 47 p4p, 38 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Leader might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Champions - Kanye West (ft Travis Scott, Quavo, etc…). Jacob Parker acknowledges the crowd's support as he enters the cage.
