PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Euphegen Doubdtfire (ranked 1 p4p, 1 weight class) and Tyaf Daeland Puno (ranked 37 p4p, 6 weight class). Doubdtfire comes to the cage accompanied by I'd Rather Go Blind. Puno comes into a darkened arena with his song building. I'm a soldier - Tupac kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
