SFC 45: PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Billy Moss (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yushin Okami (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Billy Moss had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.2lbs, 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sen Nguyen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alfonso de Asis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nguyen comes to the cage accompanied by "House of the Rising Sun" by the Animals. 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 Alfonso de Asis was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
