PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Martin Hunter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dan Kos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Martin Hunter had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.5lbs, 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. Dan Kos has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Martin Hunter's chin.
