PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gunner Malone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Grozni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Malone might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jimmy Hendrix - Vodoo Child. Grozni has chosen Миша Маваши - & as his entrance music. Ivan Grozni 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!
