PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Pako Laine (ranked 86 p4p, 8 weight class) and Jerry Haze (ranked 91 p4p, 11 weight class). Laine's entrance music is Nikke Ankara - Värifilmi. A fine choice. 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.
