PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Olli Jokinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Igor Svetnela (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jokinen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Prodigy - Poison. Svetnela has chosen Angel of Death by Slayer 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.
