PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jaakko Teppo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Motecuhzoma Xocoyotzin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Teppo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jaakko Teppo - Hilma ja Onni. The crowd seem to be enjoying Xocoyotzin's choice of entrance music: Leverage - Sentenced. Motecuhzoma Xocoyotzin has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
