PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ezra Gayumba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andy Pain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pain has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Andy Pain has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
