PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jarni Kutsoo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rajesh Koothrappali (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kutsoo comes to the cage accompanied by Enter Sandman. The crowd seem to be enjoying Koothrappali's choice of entrance music: Punjab. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
