PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Olli Jokinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Martti Molo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jokinen comes to the cage accompanied by Prodigy - Poison. Molo has chosen Nitro Circus 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 Martti Molo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
