PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jorge Linares (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Todd Roberts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Roberts has chosen Rockstar as his entrance music. Jorge Linares had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.9lbs, 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. Jorge Linares has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
