NYF 89: Zigaro vs Georgijevic PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gregor Reilly (ranked 751 p4p, 2072 weight class) and Blaze Cunningham (ranked 83 p4p, 199 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Reilly might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cannonball/ The Breeders. Cunningham has chosen Empire State Of Mind as his entrance music. 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.
