PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nikolai Kukuev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rotterdam Minx (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Minx has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Nikolai Kukuev has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
