PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Frederic Bastiat (ranked 4769 p4p, 23875 weight class) and Van Peta (ranked 450 p4p, 533 weight class). Peta is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: O Retrô Ativo - Heróis do Status Quo. Van Peta struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Van Peta has the eye of the tiger tonight.
