PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dave Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ha Satan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dave Miller had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.6lbs, 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. 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?
