NAF 43: PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lance Darian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vince Magalhaes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Darian comes to the cage accompanied by Fly By Night. Lance Darian 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. Lance Darian has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
