PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kale Kummola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Igor Yakovchenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kummola might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kale doesn't like YOU!. Yakovchenko has chosen Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
