PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jim Oreilly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and William Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jim Oreilly had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.9lbs, 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. Jim Oreilly looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
