PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Baxter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harold Hudini (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ryan Baxter had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.1lbs, 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. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
