PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Leevi Nikkola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nikkola comes to the cage accompanied by Paranoid. White has chosen Doperide by Saliva as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
