PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tom Korppila (ranked 1225 p4p, 1702 weight class) and Kaiden Walsh (ranked 127 p4p, 176 weight class). Korppila comes to the cage accompanied by Mustasch - The Mauler. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
