PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Chief Tappenahomma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Taisto Perälä (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tappenahomma's entrance music is Tatanka. A fine choice. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
