PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eemeli Lampi (ranked 389 p4p, 358 weight class) and Kjetil Olsen (ranked 51 p4p, 46 weight class). Olsen has chosen Tubthumping by Chumbawamba as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Kjetil Olsen 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!
