PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sergey Chernov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Hess (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hess is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Demiurge. 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?
