PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Heitor Machado (ranked 3368 p4p, 142 weight class) and Okino Naruhiko (ranked 2488 p4p, 99 weight class). Naruhiko has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Heitor Machado has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
