PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Moses Kealekupuna (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Niko Wildfire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wildfire has chosen Master of Puppets as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Wildfire has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Niko Wildfire has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
