PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fedor Emelianenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dimentiy Boykin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Emelianenko's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Enea Vollare Mezzo. The crowd seem to be enjoying Boykin's choice of entrance music: Пересмотри. 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.
