PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Quan Raiden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Heydar Aliyev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Raiden's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Boss Battle. Aliyev has chosen 'Let's Get It On' by Marvin Gaye as his entrance music. 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.
