PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Toni Touhu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roy D (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Touhu kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is AC/DC - TNT. D is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Plumbo - Ola Nordmann. Touhu has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Roy D has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
