PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Paul McKenzie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Buster Banks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McKenzie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to BMTH- Diamonds aren't forever.... Banks has chosen King Kong - Jibbs as his entrance music. Paul McKenzie had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
