PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Hunter Bradley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Reima Katekismus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Katekismus is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Reima's Requiem. Hunter Bradley looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
