PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ivan Dragunov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jumi Karka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dragunov comes into the arena with Respirar você - Capital Inicial blaring out of the sound system. Karka has chosen Warriors of the world as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
