PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Diesel Maddox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Terrence Tate (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tate has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Terrence Tate has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
