PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Musobek Janbekov (ranked 5019 p4p, 4186 weight class) and Olag Stepanov (ranked 494 p4p, 449 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Janbekov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to National Anthem of the Kyrgyz Republic. Olag Stepanov will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
