PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mitsugu Takeishi (ranked 1489 p4p, 1921 weight class) and Connor Mac Burns (ranked 67 p4p, 45 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Takeishi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kabuki Gomen-Jyo. 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.
