PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aleksandar Kamenov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zoey Malone Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kamenov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Korn - Hey Daddy. Malone Jr is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Who Let the Dogs Out. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
