PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mike Piensavi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Reid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Piensavi is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. Mike Piensavi had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.8lbs, 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. Alex Reid has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
