PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Happy Hands (ranked 440 p4p, 670 weight class) and Tre Jokinen (ranked 42 p4p, 69 weight class). Hands's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Pharoahe Monch- Simon Says. 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.
