PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Vadim Nazarov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kenneth Wayne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nazarov's entrance music is "Fade to Black" by Metallica. A fine choice. Wayne has chosen Larry and His Flask - Beggers will Ride as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
