PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Petr Jakovlev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Webster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jakovlev's entrance music is Devour. A fine choice. Webster has chosen Livin' On The Edge as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Petr Jakovlev has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
