PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Pikku N�k�r�inen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Malvin Maldi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). N�k�r�inen's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Juice Leskinen - Vaasankin veri vapisee. Maldi has chosen Loituma TECHNO! as his entrance music. 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.
