PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Igor Smizhonich (ranked 2493 p4p, 2900 weight class) and Chris Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson 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.
