PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Darwin France (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Killin Spight (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). France's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, bring me to life. Killin Spight has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
