PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Baby Boy Harris (ranked 6209 p4p, 544 weight class) and Rashid Magomedov (ranked 5176 p4p, 503 weight class). Magomedov is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Chris Brown - See You Again Feat. Tyga & Wiz Khalifa. 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.
