PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ezekiel Puchowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexander Kacik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Puchowski comes to the ring accompanied by Code Orange - My World. Kacik has chosen The Hydrant - Bali Bandidos as his entrance music. 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 Alexander Kacik was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
