PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Carruthers (ranked 3241 p4p, 165 weight class) and Dan Sergeant (ranked 3158 p4p, 158 weight class). Jimmy Carruthers had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.9lbs, 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. Jimmy Carruthers looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
