PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Pelle Paniikki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Victor Zsasz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Paniikki kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is N'sync - Bye Bye Bye. Zsasz has chosen 2Pac: When We Ride ft. Outlawz as his entrance music. 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.
