PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ashton Raggatt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tiago Fernandes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fernandes has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Tiago Fernandes is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
