PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Igor Bogdanov (ranked 5910 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thaddeus Dettman (ranked 5769 p4p, 0 weight class). Dettman has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
