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