PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dave Dickinson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lou Rin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dickinson's entrance music is Harvester of Sorrow. A fine choice. Dave Dickinson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.9lbs, 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!
