SISU 57: Rapada vs Holtik PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arnoldo Paulakorpi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thor Nielsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Paulakorpi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Volbeat -Sad Mans Tongue. Nielsen is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Time to say Goodbye. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Thor Nielsen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
