PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rick Ambe (ranked 809 p4p, 105 weight class) and Cameron Mathews (ranked 879 p4p, 115 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ambe might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to MASTER P - REPO. Mathews comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Way Down We Go kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Rick Ambe could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Cameron Mathews's chin.
