PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Nic Ola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Puska (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ola might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Disorder by Ice T&Slayer. Puska has chosen You Ain't Stoppin Me !!!! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
