PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hank Venture (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chuck Diesal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hank Venture 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. Chuck Diesal will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
