PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Giuseppe Gabrielli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jorma Poskiparta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Poskiparta is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: XXL Feat. Peter Steiner - It's Cool Man. Poskiparta has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Jorma Poskiparta told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
