PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Leon Gutierrez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and George Bomber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bomber has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. George Bomber is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
