PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Puncher Face (ranked 1932 p4p, 1272 weight class) and Tony Halme (ranked 225 p4p, 159 weight class). Halme has chosen Katri Helena-Katson autiota hiekkarantaa as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
