TCA 47 - Pearsen Vs Egardo PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jonas Yoponku (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Davis has chosen House of Pain - Jump Around as his entrance music. Jonas Yoponku had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.2lbs, 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. Marcus Davis told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
