PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between James Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cade Branson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Branson's choice of entrance music: branson theme song. Branson has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less!
