PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shawn Bonner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kazimir Evgeni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Evgeni comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Lad's Heart kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Evgeni has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
