PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Artturi Reinikainen (ranked 6 p4p, 31 weight class) and Hugh Honey (ranked 1 p4p, 6 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Reinikainen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Viimeinen päivä. Honey has chosen Higher Love as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
