AD423: Less is more PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jaakko Parantainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anthony Joseph (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Parantainen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cryin' Like A Bitch - Godsmack. Joseph has chosen The Rover as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Anthony Joseph has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Jaakko Parantainen's chin.
