PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between The Shifu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vlad Putin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shifu's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Kung-Fu Hustle. Putin has chosen V. Putin - Blueberry Hills 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.
