PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dedo Tarasov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jamal Ungowa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tarasov comes to the cage accompanied by Ice Cube-Today Was A Good Day. Ungowa is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Black No. 1. Dedo Tarasov looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
