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