PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Maximilian Bonaparte (ranked 11 p4p, 6 weight class) and Andrei Kersikov (ranked 4 p4p, 3 weight class). Kersikov has chosen Head of the Table as his entrance music. 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?
