PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Pinta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kalle Reinikainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pinta might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to God Is an Astronaut - All Is Violent, All Is Bright. The crowd seem to be enjoying Reinikainen's choice of entrance music: Turmion Kätilöt - Verta ja Lihaa (Proteus Mental remix).
