PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lucas Bishop (ranked 8593 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Judah (ranked 4291 p4p, 0 weight class). Judah has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
