PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Albatross (ranked 50 p4p, 72 weight class) and Finnish Tax Payer (ranked 3 p4p, 6 weight class). Tax Payer has chosen Konala Cartelli - Mäkikotka as his entrance music. Finnish Tax Payer 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!
