PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Benjo Clifton (ranked 5632 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dave Franks (ranked 5623 p4p, 0 weight class). Franks has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Dave Franks will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
