PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Buster Banks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hanson White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Banks comes to the cage accompanied by King Kong - Jibbs. White comes into a darkened arena with his song building. AC/DC - Up To My Neck In You kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Hanson White told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
