PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Baba Devious (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aleksander Krawiec (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Krawiec is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Marco Polo & Torae - Double Barrel. Baba Devious had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.7lbs, 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. Baba Devious has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
