PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Markku Mannersormi (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. Markku Mannersormi had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
