BFC 6- PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Luciano Barbosa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eldrazi Emrakul (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Luciano Barbosa had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.3lbs, 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. Luciano Barbosa looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
