PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Colt Hardin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shogun Chua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chua has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Shogun Chua is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
