PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Greg Coleman (ranked 1222 p4p, 193 weight class) and Viktor Grishin (ranked 2641 p4p, 374 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Coleman might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I Mother Earth - Not Quite Sonic. Grishin has chosen Danger 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.
