PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Uiva Nakki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sasa Gusi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nakki might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pulkkinen - Ruusulaulu. Gusi has chosen Marsirala Kralja Petra Garda as his entrance music. Sasa Gusi will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
