PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Atticus Finch (ranked 501 p4p, 390 weight class) and Bardia Farrokhzad (ranked 43 p4p, 32 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Finch might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ghetto Bird- Ice Cube. Farrokhzad comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Rastak - Hele Mali (Iranian Fisherman Folk Song) kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
