PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Mickey Dismantle (ranked 761 p4p, 408 weight class) and Hin Areni (ranked 71 p4p, 36 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dismantle might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Come As You Are. The crowd seem to be enjoying Areni's choice of entrance music: Mosaique. 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.
