PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Timofey Boyko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrzej Gajewski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Boyko might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kamaedzitca - Колазварl. The crowd seem to be enjoying Gajewski's choice of entrance music: Stratosphere. 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?
