PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Stephan Svein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyler Jensen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jensen has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Stephan Svein looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
