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