PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Sota Koira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Esa Akerlund (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Akerlund has chosen Rainer Friman - Valkeat vaunut as his entrance music. Akerlund has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
