PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Edward Stout (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kerm Frankin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stout's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Slaughterhouse-Wack MC's. Frankin is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Svennebanan. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
