PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mariusz Pudzianowski (ranked 5357 p4p, 2170 weight class) and Christophe Dupree (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dupree has chosen Eddie Vedder - Society as his entrance music. Dupree has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
