PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cain Velasquez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Barec Volevoi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Volevoi has chosen Nam ne strashen volk as his entrance music. Cain Velasquez looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
