Gladiators FN Bravo vs Cold PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Dantes DeKorveia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tadakatsu Honda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dantes DeKorveia had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.2lbs, 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. Dantes DeKorveia is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
