PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Killian Andrews (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nikolai Kolpakov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Andrews's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I Am Tha King. Kolpakov is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Alisa - Aerobica. Nikolai Kolpakov will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
