PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Elias Yurchon (ranked 2780 p4p, 2989 weight class) and Dong Hyun Kim (ranked 329 p4p, 349 weight class). Yurchon's entrance music is Glass Joe Theme. 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 Dong Hyun Kim was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
