PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between William Ribeiro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and George Chambers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chambers has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. George Chambers has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
