PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shane Carwin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marek Pudzianiszyn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Carwin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to kill or be killed. Shane Carwin had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.7lbs, 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
