PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Max Collins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Collins might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Irish Rebel Song. Williams is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by "Monster" by Skillet. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
