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