PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Roman Divac (ranked 337 p4p, 50 weight class) and Tiago Gomes Da Rocha (ranked 334 p4p, 49 weight class). Divac kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Nas- Do you hate me now. Roman Divac had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
