Enfusion MMA #4 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Howie Travis (ranked 4419 p4p, 5780 weight class) and Bob Fudge (ranked 428 p4p, 479 weight class). Travis has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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 Bob Fudge was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Karol Bedorf had a terrible time trying to make weight. After initially coming in at 270.2, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. Stepping on the scales for a second time, he still failed to make the required weight and after much deliberation, his fight with Mamed Khalidov was cancelled. |
