PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Eddie Faber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Amadeus Achamian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Faber comes to the cage accompanied by California Love - Tupac. Achamian has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
