PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Korey Carney (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Trap (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Trap has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. 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.
