PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Harold Buck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and celine damp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Harold Buck had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.4lbs, 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 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?
