PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kaimana Kalainawai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ive Nackershort (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kalainawai comes to the cage accompanied by Collie Buddz - She Gimme Love. Nackershort has chosen call to prayer as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd.
