PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Billy Blanks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harry Thurman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Billy Blanks had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.2lbs, 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. Billy Blanks looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
