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