UVT FIGHT NIGHT 4/28 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Vitaly Doubinski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andre Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vitaly Doubinski had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.4lbs, 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. Andre Jones is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
