PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Taylor Jack (ranked 677 p4p, 643 weight class) and Pablo Noriega (ranked 82 p4p, 80 weight class). Jack comes to the cage accompanied by Lucid Dreams. Noriega is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by MS-13 Mara Salvatrucha. 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?
