PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Cheikh Alkamid (ranked 2912 p4p, 248 weight class) and Shamil Kerimov (ranked 3858 p4p, 299 weight class). 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 Shamil Kerimov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
