PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Antero Rokka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roman Gruzinsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rokka's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Twilight Guardians - Out of Our Hands. Gruzinsky has chosen Россия as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
