PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alex John Conor Burns (ranked 18 p4p, 4 weight class) and Hyryx Dall (ranked 37 p4p, 8 weight class). Burns comes to the cage accompanied by Body Head Bangerz feat. Lil' Boosie & Young Bleed - I Smoke, I Drank. Dall has chosen Rattlesnake as his entrance music. 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?
