PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shane Luger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fedor Vladimirov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Luger might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Right Here, Right Now - Fatboy Slim. Vladimirov has chosen Pelageya & Darya Moroz - Walking through a field with a horse as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
