PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Andrzej Bebok (ranked 22821 p4p, 3147 weight class) and Pekka Haalvisto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Haalvisto has chosen Fintelligens - Stockholm-Helsinki as his entrance music. Bebok is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. 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?
