PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sergey Vinogradov (ranked 306 p4p, 1171 weight class) and Robbie Hall (ranked 7 p4p, 26 weight class). Hall has chosen Andy Shauf: The Magician as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
