PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Hasan Husin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tapo Naga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tapo Naga struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.5lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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.
