TRFC20: Here Comes the BOOM!! PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jon Holmes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ismail Saidov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Saidov has chosen Shamhan Daldaev - Eto Kavkaz as his entrance music. Jon Holmes 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
