PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Steven Burnett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rex Kaizer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Burnett might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to ..MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS - THRIFT SHOP . Kaizer has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. 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.
