PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jussi Ahma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pentti Pena (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ahma kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Power - Kanye West. Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
