PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alfred Hammarskjold (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jesse Venturia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hammarskjold's entrance music is Rasmus på luffen - Luffarvisan. A fine choice. Venturia is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Coolio - Gangsta's Paradise. 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.
