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