PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alanzo Pasqualli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Janu Haperenu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Janu Haperenu struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.2lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
