PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sandro Rtuwi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jorgen Kruth Kruth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kruth has chosen The Viking as his entrance music. Kruth 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.
