PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Seppo Raty (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wilson Tuckey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tuckey is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Land Down Under - Men at Work. Tuckey has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
