PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Alexander Hayes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christian Jacobs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alexander Hayes had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.1lbs, 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. Alexander Hayes looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
