PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bozigit Atayev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charles Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Bozigit Atayev looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
