PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Vincent Castillo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pera Vihtahousu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Castillo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Chop Chop Master Onion. Vihtahousu has chosen Konevitsan Kirkonkellot as his entrance music. 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.
