PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Guillaume De Smet (ranked 5780 p4p, 5731 weight class) and Erkki Penttinen (ranked 573 p4p, 570 weight class). De Smet's entrance music is Gangster's Paradise. A fine choice. Penttinen is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Obsession. 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.
