PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mauricio Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wolly Baffoon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Baffoon has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Mauricio Rua could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Wolly Baffoon's chin.
