PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rui Rodrigo Germano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Swanson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Germano's entrance music is HIM - Don't Fear The Reaper. A fine choice. Swanson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Devil You Know. John Swanson has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
