PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Louie Matthews (ranked 4987 p4p, 192 weight class) and Yegor Savaryn (ranked 4799 p4p, 187 weight class). Savaryn has chosen Anvil - Hammering sounds as his entrance music. Savaryn has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. 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.
