PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Miles Morales (ranked 3194 p4p, 2657 weight class) and Malakai York (ranked 358 p4p, 305 weight class). Malakai York struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 187.3lbs 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. 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.
