PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jermaine Barksdale (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kosmo Kramer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barksdale's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Drop The World- Lil Wayne ft. Eminem. Kramer is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by O Jerry ....or is it Sherry....no matter its by Journey. Kosmo Kramer will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
