PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aleksi Borga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fedor Emelianenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Borga comes to the cage accompanied by People In Planes - Last Man Standing. The crowd seem to be enjoying Emelianenko's choice of entrance music: Enea Vollare Mezzo. 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.
