PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jovan Dickons (ranked 1838 p4p, 2136 weight class) and Joseph Ducreux (ranked 240 p4p, 269 weight class). Dickons comes to the cage accompanied by Sidung. Jovan Dickons 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
