PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Digi Box (ranked 1431 p4p, 1185 weight class) and Maximus Furioto (ranked 171 p4p, 141 weight class). Box comes to the cage accompanied by Vesterinen Yhtyeineen - Kaikki päättyy hyvin. Furioto has chosen N5 from outer space as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
