PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alan Johnstone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ukko Petkele (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Petkele has chosen M.A. Numminen - Perkele as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Ukko Petkele 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!
