PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Brooks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kamil Kotkiewicz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brooks might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Effigy. Kotkiewicz has chosen Onar-Sukces rodzi wrogów as his entrance music. Kamil Kotkiewicz will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
