PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Smith (ranked 262 p4p, 13 weight class) and Kenrick Nikil Jr (ranked 966 p4p, 41 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Smith might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Song 2. Nikil Jr is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Dark Horse - Andrew Baena. Kenrick Nikil Jr has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with John Smith's chin.
