PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kevin KRAFTzick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kepa Keton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Keton has chosen Como un Rayo! as his entrance music. Kevin KRAFTzick looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
