PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Cassit Heiluu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Luvi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Heiluu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kerrankin Tarpeekseen. Luvi is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Metallica- Creeping Death. Paul Luvi struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.8lbs 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. Paul Luvi has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
