PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Vova Klimov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Ranieri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ranieri has chosen Eminem – Kings Never Die as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
