PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ben Askren (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Buster Knott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Askren might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kanye West-Stronger. Knott has chosen Kanye West vs. The xx - Touch The Sky (Carlos Serrano Mix) as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
