PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Adlartok Chizutere (ranked 3110 p4p, 5457 weight class) and Denis Denisov (ranked 362 p4p, 482 weight class). Chizutere kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Choices And Mistakes. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
