UVL 19mc: Deception PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Edward Araki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ben Gonzalez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Araki kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kaczor - Ten dzień. Edward Araki had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.1lbs, 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 key to victory for Edward Araki has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
