PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Larry Hayes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trevor McCumby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Trevor McCumby struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 266.5lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
