PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tural Agaev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). James kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is NWO Wolfpack. Agaev has chosen Slavsia, Rus! as his entrance music. Tural Agaev told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
