PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Igor Tatov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hades Hug (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tatov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Soundgarden - Superunknown. Hug comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Animal I Have Become kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
