BB 19 - Kong vs Schrute PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sauli Somelainen (ranked 2667 p4p, 24173 weight class) and Guiseppe Algiorno (ranked 338 p4p, 681 weight class). Guiseppe Algiorno struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.3lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
