PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Carneiro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kamil Gadzhiev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carneiro comes into the arena with The Rasmus - In the Shadows blaring out of the sound system. 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 Kamil Gadzhiev was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
