PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roman Zhdanov (ranked 224 p4p, 548 weight class) and Roman Ship (ranked 20 p4p, 34 weight class). Zhdanov's entrance music is Малиновая Лада (Raspberry Lada) by Gayazov$ Brother$. A fine choice. Roman Ship told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
