PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Greg Bustack (ranked 22300 p4p, 24603 weight class) and King Trevena (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Trevena has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Greg Bustack had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
