PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Mana Festation (ranked 827 p4p, 84 weight class) and Because I Can (ranked 3342 p4p, 278 weight class). 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?
