PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ruslan Karelin (ranked 721 p4p, 90 weight class) and Augusto Pinochet (ranked 899 p4p, 110 weight class). Pinochet has chosen I Need a Pinochet as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Ruslan Karelin has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
