PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Luiz Dos Anjos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tefy Machado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Machado has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Tefy Machado will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
