PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Reedo Subhato (ranked 6706 p4p, 4828 weight class) and Michael Mason (ranked 609 p4p, 0 weight class). Subhato has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Michael Mason told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one!
