PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Firus Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Viljo Suokas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Williams's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Fuel-Hemorrhage. Suokas has chosen Limp Bizkit - Break stuff as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. This should be a great matchup!
