PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between manuel duran (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mickle Randelman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). manuel duran had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.3lbs, 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. manuel duran looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
