PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ilkka Laitinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sam Stout (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Laitinen comes into the arena with AC/DC - Thunderstruck blaring out of the sound system. Stout has chosen Disturbed - Criminal as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
