VFC 9: Heavyweight final PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Xavier Essien (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carlos Marques (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Xavier Essien had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.0lbs, 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. Carlos Marques will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gareth Edwards (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin Vinici (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vinici has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. 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.
