PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Masakatsu Ueda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Flap Jacks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Masakatsu Ueda had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.4lbs, 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. Flap Jacks will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
