PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Leon Lentz (ranked 513 p4p, 436 weight class) and Apophis Kalmisto (ranked 78 p4p, 63 weight class). Kalmisto is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Tässäkö tää oli. Apophis Kalmisto told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
