PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between David Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andreas Svensson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Svensson has chosen Wrath by Nasum as his entrance music. Svensson has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Andreas Svensson will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
