PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Carmelo Barber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yoel Romero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Romero has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Yoel Romero will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
