PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Benjamin Webster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ed Rollack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Webster might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kamikaze by Five Iron Frenzy. Rollack has chosen Will T. Bear - For a Few Dollars More as his entrance music. Benjamin Webster has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
