PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Desmond Miles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Saud Al Massoud (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Miles might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Welcome to the World. Desmond Miles looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
