PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kermit Earlandson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jase Robertson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Earlandson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, the theme from titanic. Robertson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: SAIL by AwolNation. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
