PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Big Pete (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johan Engels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Engels has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Johan Engels will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
