PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rae Fon (ranked 1555 p4p, 201 weight class) and Jouko Juntti (ranked 3567 p4p, 405 weight class). Fon's entrance music is Kojak Theme. A fine choice. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Jouko Juntti was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
