PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Arne Kaurismaa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fernando Nurmi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kaurismaa kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is DJ Neon - Track 5. Nurmi is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Who Let the Dogs out. Arne Kaurismaa is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
