PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jan Puman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Saku Sammakko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Puman might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lunatic Soul - Lunatic Soul. Sammakko is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Saku Sammakko. 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.
