PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Al Al Kaholic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rafal Kozak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Al Kaholic kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cant Be Touched. Kozak has chosen Kazik 12 groszy as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
