PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hamdak Burgam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexei Surov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Surov has chosen Amphetamines as his entrance music. Surov has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Hamdak Burgam looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
