SPNY 29: Shuai Jiao - Goc PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Howard Lang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dell Optiplex (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Howard Lang had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.3lbs, 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. Dell Optiplex will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luisito Banaag (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kenny Finch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Banaag might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Soulfly - Pain. 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.
