PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tao PiePie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hijero Imada (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). PiePie is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. Tao PiePie looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
