PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Diego Jarszczko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vadim Nazarov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jarszczko's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Lil Flip ft. Chamillionaire - Playa 4 Life. The crowd seem to be enjoying Nazarov's choice of entrance music: "Fade to Black" by Metallica. 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?
