PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Joby Gamache (ranked 6887 p4p, 6774 weight class) and Charles Mason (ranked 488 p4p, 482 weight class). Gamache kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is dat. 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.
