PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between PePe Hapitchou (ranked 790 p4p, 98 weight class) and Henrique Ramos (ranked 768 p4p, 94 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hapitchou might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Blackalicious - Sky is falling. Ramos has chosen Sepultura - Nomad 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.
