PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Billy Branton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Branton might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Face the Pain by Stemm. Miller has chosen skrillyx as his entrance music. Jason Miller has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
