PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Pikku Nakarainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Grammur Natzee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nakarainen comes to the cage accompanied by Juice Leskinen - Vaasankin veri vapisee. Natzee is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Marillion - Garden Party. 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.
