PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Goguryeo Kim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Borisov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kim comes to the cage accompanied by Cunninlynguists - Lynguistics. Borisov is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Blunt - The Iron Maiden. 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.
