PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Henrique Cardoso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trent Morrow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cardoso's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Stemm - Face the pain . Henrique Cardoso had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.2lbs, 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. Henrique Cardoso has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
