PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luke Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Willie Connor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Anderson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Nancy Sings - Jandek. Connor is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Dropkick Murphys-Rocky Road To Dublin. 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.
