PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Chris Fda (ranked 1662 p4p, 207 weight class) and Odchigin Khadan (ranked 2890 p4p, 302 weight class). Fda's entrance music is Hate Me Now. A fine choice. Khadan is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Khoomii. 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?
