PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shaun Irwin (ranked 2287 p4p, 2009 weight class) and Ebubekir Siddik (ranked 301 p4p, 266 weight class). Irwin comes to the cage accompanied by No More Heroes. Siddik has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. This should be a great matchup!
