PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between David Trezeguet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniello Pablo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pablo has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
