PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hamish Farquharson (ranked 1956 p4p, 2197 weight class) and Nurislam Alieva (ranked 216 p4p, 245 weight class). Hamish Farquharson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, 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. 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?
