PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ivan Drago (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fernando Zulich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Drago kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Soviet Union National Anthem. Zulich has chosen Hustlin' as his entrance music. Ivan Drago has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
