PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gabriel Al Sulwi (ranked 4379 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clemence Nassibu (ranked 7685 p4p, 0 weight class). Nassibu has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Gabriel Al Sulwi looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
