PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Holden Gracie (ranked 1019 p4p, 1388 weight class) and Eduradr Nemkov (ranked 119 p4p, 166 weight class). Nemkov is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Сектор газа - Лирика. 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.
