PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sparring Fighter 1 (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexander Volkov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fighter 1 comes into the arena with Lou Reed - The day John Kennedy Died blaring out of the sound system. Volkov has chosen Major Lazer & DJ Snake - Lean On (feat. MØ) 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.
