PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Brand (ranked 2950 p4p, 5240 weight class) and Bogdan Uzun (ranked 316 p4p, 482 weight class). Uzun has chosen "Trogdor the Burninator" by Strong Bad as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
