PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pullo Kalevi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommi Turmiola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Turmiola has chosen Beck: Loser as his entrance music. Pullo Kalevi looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
