Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Afeef Isa Baba (ranked 1492 p4p, 171 weight class) and Tyson Pearson (ranked 1575 p4p, 178 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Baba might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Nation Arabic Orchestra. Pearson has chosen Drop The Bombshell as his entrance music. Afeef Isa Baba could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Tyson Pearson's chin.
