PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tural Agaev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Daniel Kennamer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Agaev comes to the cage accompanied by Slavsia, Rus!. Kennamer has chosen J.D. Sumner - Old Man River 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 James Daniel Kennamer was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
