PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Vadik Koslov (ranked 894 p4p, 2525 weight class) and John Carter (ranked 138 p4p, 372 weight class). Carter has chosen I'll Kill You Motherf*cker as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Vadik Koslov has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
