PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jouni Joukahainen (ranked 3948 p4p, 1714 weight class) and Billy Cubbedge (ranked 389 p4p, 201 weight class). Jouni Joukahainen had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.1lbs, 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. Billy Cubbedge will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
