PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Odchigin Khadan (ranked 4335 p4p, 457 weight class) and Nils Ragnaar (ranked 1902 p4p, 237 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Khadan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Khoomii. Ragnaar has chosen Mustasch - The Wave as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
