PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ignat Grenovsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Blade Runner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Grenovsky comes into the arena with Harry Axe-Our people blaring out of the sound system. Runner has chosen Demanufacture by Fear Factory as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
