ECFC 33 WHITEFORD VS ROBERTS PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Oscar Wilde (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Justin Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
