PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jezze James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Spiller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spiller has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. David Spiller has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
