PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Boris Agapov (ranked 2311 p4p, 5260 weight class) and Diogo Viana (ranked 258 p4p, 429 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Viana's choice of entrance music: Pagode Russo. 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?
