PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alexei Babinski (ranked 41 p4p, 85 weight class) and Boris Krylov (ranked 6 p4p, 13 weight class). Babinski kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Raining Blood - Slayer. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
