PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Magomed Aliev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vladimir Romanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Romanov has chosen Dawaj na Ring as his entrance music. Romanov has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Magomed Aliev looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
