PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dave Abbott (ranked 4294 p4p, 3506 weight class) and Ivan Rosch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rosch has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Dave Abbott could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Ivan Rosch's chin.
