PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jamie Horton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stephen Hawking (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Horton comes to the cage accompanied by SOAD toxicity. Hawking has chosen Shady Lane as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
