PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ville Ahokas (ranked 847 p4p, 89 weight class) and Charles Ng (ranked 985 p4p, 103 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ahokas might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to ELUVEITIE - Inis Mona. Ng has chosen Wedlock - I'm The Fuck You Man as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
