PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Paulo Maldini (ranked 3070 p4p, 1209 weight class) and Alain Aspect (ranked 391 p4p, 160 weight class). Aspect has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
