PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Juan Pique (ranked 109 p4p, 42 weight class) and Finn The Human (ranked 14 p4p, 5 weight class). Pique's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Piranha. The Human has chosen Adventure Time 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?
