PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Lemmy Bang (ranked 30 p4p, 136 weight class) and Brady Jean Baptiste (ranked 3 p4p, 11 weight class). Bang's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, For Heavy Metal we will die!. Jean Baptiste has chosen Born on the Bayou as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. This should be a great matchup!
