PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Max Barathian (ranked 599 p4p, 63 weight class) and Teemu Karjalainen (ranked 1136 p4p, 128 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Barathian might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Anderswelt - Schandmaul. Karjalainen is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Poisonblack - Sun Shines Black. Both fighters really staring each other down here, as Teemu Karjalainen enters the cage!
