RISE 13 - Ray vs Onera PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Slipp Rock (ranked 5279 p4p, 549 weight class) and WeDa Champ (ranked 6524 p4p, 610 weight class). Slipp Rock had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.3lbs, 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. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
