PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Rob Ramirez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bruno Ferreira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rob Ramirez had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.4lbs, 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. Rob Ramirez could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Bruno Ferreira's chin.
