PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Oleg Alekseev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Elbrys Gora (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alekseev kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Imperium. Gora has chosen Cadillac Records - Howlin' Wolf Sings as his entrance music. 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.
