PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jarmo Ek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rami Raakalainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ek might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pixies - Tame. Rami Raakalainen told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
