PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Satanic Panic (ranked 135 p4p, 861 weight class) and Jian Zhao (ranked 25 p4p, 127 weight class). Panic comes to the cage accompanied by Freezing Moon. Zhao is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Dirty Harry (Schtung Chinese New Year Remix) - Gorillaz. 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.
