PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Nogeira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fedor Belfort (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Belfort is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Burn It To The Ground. 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.
