PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Severi Suhonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shamil Basaev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Suhonen's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Lentävä Kalakukko. Shamil Basaev 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!
