PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hans Arne Georgsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Risto Jaloviina (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Georgsen comes to the cage accompanied by O Fortuna. Jaloviina is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: UNKLE - Reign. Jaloviina has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
