PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tom Henke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lee Tsakada (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tom Henke had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, 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. Lee Tsakada has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Tom Henke's chin.
