PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Terenti Pushkin (ranked 2113 p4p, 2610 weight class) and Rory Curtis (ranked 216 p4p, 254 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Curtis's choice of entrance music: The Prodigy - Omen. Terenti Pushkin looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
