PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nate Lennox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Richard Braun (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lennox kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is down -- motograter. Braun is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Ruby Soho - Rancid. Nate Lennox has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
