PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kurt Meyer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pyry Perkele (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Meyer's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I'd Love to Knock the Hell out of You. Perkele has chosen Perkele as his entrance music.
