PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roman Gruzinsky (ranked 2881 p4p, 4465 weight class) and Levan Revazshvili (ranked 360 p4p, 512 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gruzinsky might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Overkill. Revazshvili is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Georgia National Anthem. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Levan Revazshvili was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
