PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Maiquel Graice (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mikhail Rakhmanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Graice might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Killing In The Name - RATM. Rakhmanov has chosen Russian national anthem as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighter's entrance songs getting the crowd jumping here.
