PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Harding (ranked 20369 p4p, 602 weight class) and Dominick De Struicao (ranked 12772 p4p, 598 weight class). De Struicao has chosen Walk With Me In Hell as his entrance music. Dominick De Struicao struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 172.2lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
