PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dee Nice (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dominic Tsunami (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dee Nice had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, 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. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
