PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alpo Yliremmi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Tauno (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yliremmi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Korpiklaani - Tuonelan Tuvilla. Tauno is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Pelican - Dead Between The Walls. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
