PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mikhail Bakunin (ranked 1404 p4p, 163 weight class) and Turbo Epicity (ranked 877 p4p, 111 weight class). Epicity has chosen Semi Charmed Life as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
