PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kane Silva (ranked 2031 p4p, 283 weight class) and Connor Lourens (ranked 2830 p4p, 376 weight class). Silva comes to the cage accompanied by Hailee Steinfeld & Alesso (ft. Florida Georgia Line & watt) - "Let Me Go" . Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
