PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Hatsu Hioki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jokke Mela (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hioki might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pussy by Rammstein. 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.
