PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Vincent Diaz (ranked 3886 p4p, 25446 weight class) and Keegan Good (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Good has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Vincent Diaz looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
