PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael Middleton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergey Katasonov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Katasonov has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Sergey Katasonov 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!
