PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Taavi Liisteri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sam Stout (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Liisteri comes to the cage accompanied by Solid Base - I like it. The crowd seem to be enjoying Stout's choice of entrance music: Disturbed - Criminal. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
