MFN 107: Down But Not Out PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ben Hur (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Justin Craven (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ben Hur had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.4lbs, 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. Justin Craven is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
