PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jan Tachowicz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Rampage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rampage has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Jake Rampage told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
