PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Abi Tural (ranked 1016 p4p, 111 weight class) and Keijo Lopetus (ranked 907 p4p, 102 weight class). Lopetus has chosen For Heavy Metal we will die! 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 Keijo Lopetus was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
