IFA 12: Maximum PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Milel Schooba (ranked 4695 p4p, 25413 weight class) and Vibino Cortes (ranked 388 p4p, 423 weight class). Milel Schooba had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.6lbs, 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. On his way into the ring it seems that Milel Schooba has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Milel Schooba seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
