PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jose Aldo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyson Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tyson Jackson struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 157.0lbs 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. Jose Aldo looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
