PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sasuke Uchiha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jose Castro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sasuke Uchiha had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.3lbs, 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. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
