PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Teddy Sayre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ahiga Otaktay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sayre might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to A Country Boy Can Survive. Otaktay has chosen ISIS - THE TOWER as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
