PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sergei Ivanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Grzegorz Bomba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ivanov's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, HINO RUSSO. Bomba comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Dreadlock Holiday kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
