PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Clint Cartwright (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brady Burns (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cartwright might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Total Domination. 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.
