PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pops Cama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Iivana Jalo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cama might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lollipop. The crowd seem to be enjoying Jalo's choice of entrance music: Aino Venna - Waltz to Paris. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
