PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alex John Conor Burns (ranked 10 p4p, 2 weight class) and Cornelius Carr (ranked 52 p4p, 8 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Burns might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Body Head Bangerz feat. Lil' Boosie & Young Bleed - I Smoke, I Drank. Carr has chosen Bang Bang 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.
