PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jason Burns (ranked 24897 p4p, 3989 weight class) and Preston Duarte (ranked 526 p4p, 443 weight class). Jason Burns had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.4lbs, 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. 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?
