PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Adrian Adamos (ranked 542 p4p, 393 weight class) and Alexander Kuznetsov (ranked 55 p4p, 42 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Adamos might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Watch. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
