UFL 10: Reva - Kerum PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nate Lavelle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aleskei Oleynik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nate Lavelle had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Nate Lavelle looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
