PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dante Evangelisti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexei Surov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Evangelisti comes into the arena with Hunting For Death blaring out of the sound system. Surov has chosen Amphetamines as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
