PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Vladimir Machulda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Edwin Baker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Baker has chosen Mortal Kombat- Afu Ra as his entrance music. Vladimir Machulda looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
