PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lawrence Soliman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Fisher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Soliman comes to the cage accompanied by detox. Lawrence Soliman had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.5lbs, 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. Chris Fisher will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
