PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nyrkki Sankari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Ohlrich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sankari might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Odorants - This Night. Ohlrich has chosen Alice In Chains- Them Bones 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.
