PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alexander Ratskin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yrjo Jarvinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ratskin comes into the arena with "Umbrella" with Lillasyster blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Jarvinen's choice of entrance music: Frederik - Harva meistä on rautaa. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Yrjo Jarvinen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
