PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Stan Dardey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ken Bendersen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dardey comes to the cage accompanied by Amazing. Bendersen is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Love it loud. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Ken Bendersen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
