PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Pynchon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Al Swearengen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Swearengen has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Al Swearengen will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
