PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between DeMarcus Ridley (ranked 23930 p4p, 613 weight class) and Michael Tyler (ranked 3226 p4p, 368 weight class). DeMarcus Ridley 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. DeMarcus Ridley could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Michael Tyler's chin.
