PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Walay Buut (ranked 23397 p4p, 23381 weight class) and Minatay Mibangon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mibangon has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
