PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arjan Bhullar (ranked 120 p4p, 18 weight class) and Richard Kuklinsky (ranked 113 p4p, 15 weight class). Bhullar kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Lords of the Underground - Chief Rocka. 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.
