PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Makebono Bowen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Big Cloe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cloe has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Makebono Bowen has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
