NAF 8: Soto vs. Mael PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tibor Sari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Calgary Alberta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tibor Sari had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.7lbs, 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. Calgary Alberta is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Cody Yeary (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Obsrana Sraka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yeary comes into the arena with Chip off the block - Machine gun Kelly (MGK) blaring out of the sound system. Obsrana Sraka struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 187.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him.
