PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Micket Donald (ranked 4144 p4p, 24764 weight class) and King Trevena (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Trevena has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. King Trevena will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
