PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Fox Till (ranked 3320 p4p, 3476 weight class) and Kona Uluwehi (ranked 438 p4p, 463 weight class). Fox Till had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.2lbs, 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
