PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Julle Hallava (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lawrance Gerltz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hallava might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kotiteollisuus - Iankaikkinen. Gerltz comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Rage Against The Machine - Bull On Parade kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
