UVT 314: Equinox vs Anthriel PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Yardigalovich Vasililiev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevlar Gomez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yardigalovich Vasililiev had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.1lbs, 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.
