PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Maurisio Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scott Summers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maurisio Rua had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.4lbs, 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 fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
