PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Darrick Abbott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marlon Jogos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jogos has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Marlon Jogos will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
