PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Midhaz Zoulam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Magnus Ubiistia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Midhaz Zoulam had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.9lbs, 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. Midhaz Zoulam looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
