PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Pavel Burov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeffy Jefferson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Russian Rocket. Jefferson has chosen Fette's Vette as his entrance music. 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.
