PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marko Mihic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Asser Toropainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mihic comes into the arena with L.L. Cool J - Mama said Knock you Out blaring out of the sound system. Toropainen has chosen Paleface-Syntynyt rellestää as his entrance music. 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.
