PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Axel Boozer (ranked 4985 p4p, 0 weight class) and Akkan Kubilay (ranked 4638 p4p, 0 weight class). Boozer's entrance music is Kraftwerk - The Model. A fine choice. 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 Akkan Kubilay was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
