Death Squad 46:Chael vs Josef PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Mendes Lima (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rooy Tahnupa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lima has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Mendes Lima had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.3lbs, 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. Rooy Tahnupa is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
