Prestige FC 13: New Orders PBP Commentary

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Janu Malkriado Gyan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carter Jose De La Cus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jose De La Cus is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Death Grips/Macintosh Plus - Lord of the 420. Janu Malkriado Gyan had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.2lbs, 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the ring.
