PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Artur Levchenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yize Li (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Levchenko kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Killing in The Name. 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.
