PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Igor Glozman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lauri Torni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Glozman might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to enae Volare Mezzo. Torni has chosen Gallowbraid - Ashen Eidolon as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Lauri Torni 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!
