PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Piotr Chojnowski (ranked 4325 p4p, 453 weight class) and Rafal Mazur (ranked 5834 p4p, 520 weight class). Chojnowski's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Nothing More - Do You Really Want It ?. Mazur has chosen Nothing More - Here's to Heartache 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.
