MFC XXIX : The last one PBP Commentary

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between LeBron Manhaes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Berndt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Manhaes might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Back in Black. LeBron Manhaes had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.7lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
