PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between George Chavalo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Allen Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 185lb limit. George Chavalo came in at 186.1 and Allen Jones came in at 186.4 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get within the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. The key to victory for George Chavalo has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
