PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Olli Jokinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Allowin Baaf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jokinen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Prodigy - Poison. Baaf has chosen 'Wild Boys' by Duran Duran as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Allowin Baaf has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Olli Jokinen's chin.
