PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ishaan Thornton (ranked 4213 p4p, 2672 weight class) and Jasur Ordilovokov (ranked 452 p4p, 322 weight class). Ordilovokov 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.
