MH27-The real deal PBP Commentary

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Redmond Barry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Barry might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Slayer - Raining Blood. Redmond Barry had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.8lbs, 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.
