PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vitaly Minakov (ranked 2362 p4p, 318 weight class) and Niko Alzate (ranked 1547 p4p, 209 weight class). Vitaly Minakov had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.1lbs, 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. Both fighters really staring each other down here, as Niko Alzate enters the cage!
