PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ndamukong Suh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paolo Tataglia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tataglia has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Ndamukong Suh has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
