PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cees Overeem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Urho Haapasalo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Overeem might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Drowning Pool - Bodies (Let The Bodies Hit The Floor) . Haapasalo is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Korpiklaani - Vodka. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
