PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Max Maynard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stringer Bell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maynard's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Roy Jones - Can't Be Stopped. Stringer Bell struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.3lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Stringer Bell is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
