PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gideon Frost (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Viktor Federov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Frost kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Smack My Bitch Up by The Prodigy. Federov has chosen Back in Black as his entrance music. 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.
