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