SF54: Meat In The Cage! PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Huey Freeman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Seppo Taalasmaa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Freeman kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Scorpions - The Good Die Young. Taalasmaa has chosen Smurffit - Tunteisiin 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?
