PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Kim Young Il (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Braden Turk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Il's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, RATM - Renegades of Funk. Turk has chosen Status Quo- Deeper and Down as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Braden Turk was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
