PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Aleksander Kazimierz (ranked 2220 p4p, 2174 weight class) and Joro Paveto (ranked 134 p4p, 130 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kazimierz might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WJFjXtHcy4. Paveto is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Imperial March. Aleksander Kazimierz has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
