PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Uriah Heath (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julian Tees (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Heath might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Asche zu Asche. Uriah Heath looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
