PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vadim Kalashnikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Brandao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kalashnikov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Leningrad Cowboys - Those Were The Days . Brandao has chosen The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army as his entrance music. Marcus Brandao has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
