PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kevin Boucher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Iheb II (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). II has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
