PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Make Makkonen (ranked 461 p4p, 2634 weight class) and Jussi Roipe (ranked 25 p4p, 126 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Makkonen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Epic Sax Guy - time to SMESH!. 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?
