PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Silvano Assunicao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Demian Bustamante (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silvano Assunicao had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.0lbs, 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. Demian Bustamante told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
