PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jackson Whitaker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ruffuss Passat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Whitaker comes to the cage accompanied by "Who Shot Ya" by Biggie Smalls. Passat has chosen looser by Beck as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Passat has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Ruffuss Passat is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
