PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Pablo Noriega (ranked 126 p4p, 161 weight class) and Iker Ramirez (ranked 16 p4p, 21 weight class). Noriega comes to the cage accompanied by MS-13 Mara Salvatrucha. Ramirez is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Great balls of fire. 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?
