PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shock Wave (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergio Mora (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mora has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Shock Wave looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
