PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Damian Pabin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Big Bastard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bastard has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Big Bastard 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!
