PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between James Diamond (ranked 2972 p4p, 1149 weight class) and Ruud Altena (ranked 359 p4p, 169 weight class). Altena has chosen Grontapu by Double Rock as his entrance music. James Diamond had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.2lbs, 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
