PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Riley Hatfield (ranked 1910 p4p, 1842 weight class) and Sunshine Okafor (ranked 226 p4p, 219 weight class). Hatfield's entrance music is Cruel World- Willie Nelson. A fine choice. Okafor has chosen Bliss as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
