PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Vinicius Magaleon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yrjo Karhula (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Karhula has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Yrjo Karhula told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
