PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kal Innella (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jean Du Pont (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kal Innella had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.4lbs, 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. Kal Innella looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
