PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Silas Joyce (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Glynn BT (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). BT has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Glynn BT told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
