PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Temujin Namkhai (ranked 227 p4p, 535 weight class) and Kobra Jay (ranked 16 p4p, 30 weight class). Namkhai comes to the cage accompanied by Batzorig Vaanchig - Mongolian Throat Singing. Both these guys have really solid chins.
