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