PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dominick Poirier (ranked 2330 p4p, 6168 weight class) and Adolf Hitler (ranked 238 p4p, 456 weight class). Hitler has chosen Russian Dancing Men as his entrance music. Adolf Hitler struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.7lbs 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. Dominick Poirier looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
