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