TKO MMA #85 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bragainho Prado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fennerman Derkson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bragainho Prado had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.1lbs, 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. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Fennerman Derkson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
