PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jonny Victorio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pyry Perkele (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Victorio kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Nightingale - Nightfall Overture. Perkele has chosen Perkele 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.
