PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Anthony Ryan Conger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rami Aziz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aziz is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Roy Jones Jr. - Can´t be Touched. Conger is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. Anthony Ryan Conger looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
