PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Timo Harjakainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Risto Korpisuo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Harjakainen comes into the arena with Let's Go Fiesta blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Korpisuo's choice of entrance music: Humpparaakki by Eläkeläiset. 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.
