PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alex Zaldiar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Maggio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Maggio's choice of entrance music: Speak Softly Love. Alex Zaldiar had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.2lbs, 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. Tony Maggio is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
