PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kevin Hart (ranked 1491 p4p, 182 weight class) and Matt Kuchar (ranked 2040 p4p, 244 weight class). Kuchar has chosen 21 Savage - No Heart 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 Matt Kuchar was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
