PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tauno Tolonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Riddick Wannick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tolonen comes into the arena with Hurt me blaring out of the sound system. Wannick comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Green Day - Basket Case kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
