PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rupert Helenius (ranked 1875 p4p, 3420 weight class) and Dong Hyun Kim (ranked 225 p4p, 371 weight class). Kim has chosen Danza Kuduro as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
