Sucker Punch Pro Series 166 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Moganesh Jain (ranked 1280 p4p, 1668 weight class) and Mac Bandini (ranked 147 p4p, 188 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jain might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Monkey King. The crowd seem to be enjoying Bandini's choice of entrance music: Expanse. 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.
