PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Max Wazinsky (ranked 7182 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rick Sirck (ranked 7173 p4p, 0 weight class). Sirck has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Rick Sirck has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
