PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zaurbek Akhmedov (ranked 2079 p4p, 206 weight class) and Manu Mikkonen (ranked 1690 p4p, 166 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Akhmedov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bullet For My Valentine - Scream Aim Fire. Mikkonen is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: When Worlds Collide. Manu Mikkonen is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
