PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pierre Saint Roc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tomi Juntunen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Saint Roc might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rock superstar. Juntunen has chosen Lumessakahlaajat as his entrance music. 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.
