PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kimboe Slice (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Illianenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Slice's entrance music is B.U.M.P. A fine choice. Illianenko has chosen Only God Can Judge Me as his entrance music. 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?
