PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Satanic Panic (ranked 310 p4p, 443 weight class) and Sunshine Okafor (ranked 43 p4p, 70 weight class). Panic's entrance music is Freezing Moon. A fine choice. Okafor is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Bliss. 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?
