PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gabriel Ferreira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Raymond Vladimirovitch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vladimirovitch is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Sweet Child O' Mine. Ferreira has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Raymond Vladimirovitch told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
