PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ruslan Aslamanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Samir King (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). King is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: When I Die - Genocide(Jusuf Dzilic). 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 Samir King was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
