PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ben Franklin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ray King (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Franklin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Landslide by Fleetwood Mac. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
