PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Gustavo Toro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jurmas Uusisto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Toro might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Knife Party / Bonfire. Uusisto has chosen System Of A Down - B.Y.O.B. as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
