PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Abu Sayaf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sue Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sayaf's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Brand Nubian - Allah U Akbar. Jackson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Tässä Tulee Hirmuinen Rölli. 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.
