PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ebyn Dall (ranked 186 p4p, 23 weight class) and Sergey Panikov (ranked 292 p4p, 37 weight class). Dall's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Under the Blood. The crowd seem to be enjoying Panikov's choice of entrance music: Fighters. 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?
