PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rafael Vieira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Terry Bogard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vieira's entrance music is T.I. - Go get it. A fine choice. Bogard has chosen Body Head Bangerz - Can’t Be Touched as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Terry Bogard has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
