PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Heydar Zahedani (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jaakko Parantainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 185lb limit. Heydar Zahedani came in at 186.7 and Jaakko Parantainen came in at 187.8 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get within the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. Jaakko Parantainen has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Heydar Zahedani's chin.
