PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Danila Bagrov (ranked 432 p4p, 668 weight class) and James Spencer (ranked 52 p4p, 86 weight class). Bagrov's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Империя зла. 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.
