PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between TJ Cage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maurice Kilmers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cage's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Get shaky. Maurice Kilmers struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.3lbs 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
