PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Abdullah Dawsari (ranked 3530 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marchiano Giovinazzi (ranked 23055 p4p, 0 weight class). Dawsari is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. Abdullah Dawsari looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
