PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aleksandar Kamenov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anakoni Kai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kamenov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Korn - Hey Daddy. Kai is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Firestarter. Anakoni Kai has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
