PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Pikku Nakarainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vinny Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nakarainen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Juice Leskinen - Vaasankin veri vapisee. Vinny Jones will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
