PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Buck Brown (ranked 879 p4p, 119 weight class) and Razmig Grigorian (ranked 1009 p4p, 137 weight class). Brown comes to the cage accompanied by Cannibal Corpes - Hammer smashed face. Grigorian has chosen Ara Gevorgyan - Artsakh 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?
