PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alexei Babinski (ranked 58 p4p, 56 weight class) and Yardbird Knox (ranked 10 p4p, 9 weight class). Babinski comes to the cage accompanied by Raining Blood - Slayer. Knox has chosen Now's The Time | Charlie Parker as his entrance music. 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?
