PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jukko Hamalainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nicholas Bojangles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hamalainen comes to the cage accompanied by Finnish National Anthem. The crowd seem to be enjoying Bojangles's choice of entrance music: straight to the bank. 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 Nicholas Bojangles was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
