PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Terrell Hayes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and William Harrison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Terrell Hayes had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 208.0lbs, 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. William Harrison is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
