PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Felix Dakat (ranked 1228 p4p, 2685 weight class) and Josh Jordan (ranked 98 p4p, 185 weight class). Jordan comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Beguiled- Smashing Pumpkins kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
