PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wilbur Barlow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thiago Oliveira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Oliveira has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Thiago Oliveira will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
