PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harley King (ranked 2334 p4p, 3804 weight class) and Kyle Kuzma (ranked 299 p4p, 477 weight class). Kuzma has chosen Tarararara as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
