PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Saku Sammakko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pete Sproles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sammakko kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Saku Sammakko. Sproles has chosen can't be touched -Roy Jones Jr as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
