PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jaska Jalovaara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kenneth Wayne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jalovaara's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Die for Metal. Wayne is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Larry and His Flask - Beggers will Ride. 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.
