PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Razmig Grigorian (ranked 64 p4p, 13 weight class) and Jimmy Smesman (ranked 1065 p4p, 145 weight class). Grigorian kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ara Gevorgyan - Artsakh. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
