Helsinki Fighting League: 52 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kid Cudi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kai Firanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cudi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is King Wizard. Firanen has chosen Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive as his entrance music. 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 Kai Firanen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
