PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Teemu Karjalainen (ranked 615 p4p, 70 weight class) and Sni Probong (ranked 1077 p4p, 115 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Karjalainen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Poisonblack - Sun Shines Black. Probong has chosen Bodhi Mandala as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
