PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Aiden Preston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dan Price (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Preston comes to the cage accompanied by Fuckin Problem. Price has chosen Hank Williams III - Thrown out of the Bar as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
