PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Remus Filipovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roy Benavidez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Remus Filipovic had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.5lbs, 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. Remus Filipovic looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
