PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Branson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Conrad (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Branson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Meytal Cohen - Toxicity. Conrad has chosen Rider Part II as his entrance music. Jack Conrad will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
