PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Riley Ferguson (ranked 7248 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hassan Msuva (ranked 3834 p4p, 0 weight class). Msuva has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
