PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jay Codina (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Benjamin Tay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Codina might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Right back where we started from. Tay has chosen PONPONPON as his entrance music. Jay Codina had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.4lbs, 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. This should be a great matchup!
