HERO Kamppi Chaos 3 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jacky Ler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Toast Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ler might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rise of the fallen. Man is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: POWDERED... TOAST... MAAAAAAAAANN!!!. 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.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Taneli Hauki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Atte Peltola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hauki's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Kyuss - Green Machine. Peltola has chosen Biggest & The Best as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Taneli Hauki has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Taneli Hauki seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
