PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Logan Harter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abdullah Virtanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Harter might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Stevie Ray Vaughan "Rude Mood". Virtanen has chosen Soomaaliyeey toosoo as his entrance music. Logan Harter could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Abdullah Virtanen's chin.
