PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Finnish Tax Payer (ranked 39 p4p, 76 weight class) and Jihadi Joseph (ranked 4 p4p, 9 weight class). Tax Payer's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Konala Cartelli - Mäkikotka. 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.
