PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Carlos Correia (ranked 6882 p4p, 6124 weight class) and Coon Cunnig (ranked 720 p4p, 677 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Cunnig's choice of entrance music: Bring Me Back To Life. Carlos Correia looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
