PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between A. Mere Con (ranked 1395 p4p, 1798 weight class) and Richie Alaska (ranked 169 p4p, 215 weight class). Con comes into the arena with Born In The USA - Bruce Springsteen blaring out of the sound system. Alaska is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by A Long December - Counting Crows. 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.
