PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Robert Sito (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leo Mylleri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sito's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, DMX - What's my name?. Mylleri has chosen Om du har nåt att säga, säg det till mig! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
