PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marcus Gronholm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hammer Mack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gronholm comes to the cage accompanied by Eeppinen biisi. Mack is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Elephant Man - Haters (feat Hunt & Jim Jones) . 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.
