PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Wood Chuck (ranked 357 p4p, 1096 weight class) and Buck Bolkvadze (ranked 52 p4p, 143 weight class). Chuck kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Who Needs A Girl Like You - Indian Wars. 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.
