PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ray Sambo (ranked 4206 p4p, 4146 weight class) and Rodrigo Medeiros (ranked 539 p4p, 535 weight class). Ray Sambo had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.0lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
