PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chris Zorich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carl Panzram (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Panzram has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Carl Panzram will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
