PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Teppo Turma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hakeem Berzevaco (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Turma might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Slipknot - Psychosocial. Berzevaco has chosen Kaksi vanhaa hinttaria as his entrance music. Hakeem Berzevaco has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
