PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gunnar Steigelmann (ranked 229 p4p, 9 weight class) and Kalle Karlsson (ranked 472 p4p, 20 weight class). Karlsson has chosen Carolus Rex - Sabaton as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
