PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Konrad Husky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mario Karlo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Konrad Husky had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.0lbs, 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. This should be fireworks!
