PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Logan McIntyre (ranked 4058 p4p, 3833 weight class) and Enoc Solves Torres (ranked 426 p4p, 412 weight class). Torres has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
