PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Andrei Emelianenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Diaz's choice of entrance music: Take My Hand. Emelianenko is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. Nick Diaz has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
