PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Anderson St Pierre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rinaldo Rosa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rosa has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
