PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Milo Andrianakis (ranked 53 p4p, 185 weight class) and Bora Khan (ranked 5 p4p, 21 weight class). Andrianakis's entrance music is The Andy Milonakis Theme Song. A fine choice. Khan has chosen Tim McGraw - Live Like You Were Dying as his entrance music. 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.
