PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Satoshi Tanahashi (ranked 2754 p4p, 372 weight class) and Viktor Grishin (ranked 2377 p4p, 330 weight class). Tanahashi comes to the cage accompanied by Blood Stain Child - Stargazer. Grishin has chosen Danger as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Viktor Grishin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
