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