PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nalle Karhu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trouble Some (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Karhu kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Yö - Parrasvalot. Some has chosen Von Hertzen Brothers - Coming Home as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
