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