PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Happy Hands (ranked 4627 p4p, 4571 weight class) and Bibi Ghulam (ranked 341 p4p, 336 weight class). Hands's entrance music is Pharoahe Monch- Simon Says. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Ghulam's choice of entrance music: raining blood. Bibi Ghulam has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
