PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bear Servilto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aamo Kaira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bear Servilto had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.1lbs, 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. Bear Servilto is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
