AFC #3 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sammy Simmons (ranked 5493 p4p, 5789 weight class) and Dax Monroe (ranked 488 p4p, 497 weight class). Sammy Simmons had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.8lbs, 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. 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.
