PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ivan Gornev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cain Vitali (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gornev's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Alessandro Safina - Luna Tu. Vitali has chosen Cain's entrance theme as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Ivan Gornev has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
