PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Connor Newman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Doug McMichaels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Newman might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Flashing Lights by Kanye West. Doug McMichaels will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
