PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Katchafire Collie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Petrov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Collie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to LSF. Petrov has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Ivan Petrov has the eye of the tiger tonight.
