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