PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Danny Danger (ranked 47 p4p, 170 weight class) and Kaarlo Susi (ranked 7 p4p, 27 weight class). Danger kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
