PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Artturi Reinikainen (ranked 57 p4p, 78 weight class) and Evan Duvernay (ranked 7 p4p, 9 weight class). Reinikainen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Viimeinen päivä. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
