PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Everhart Cruse (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ansan Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brown has chosen Remember the Name-Fort Miner as his entrance music. Ansan Brown struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Everhart Cruse looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
