PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Samuel Nti (ranked 111 p4p, 19 weight class) and Lighty LightHeavyweight (ranked 753 p4p, 112 weight class). Samuel Nti had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.9lbs, 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. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
