PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Robert Frost (ranked 4188 p4p, 3335 weight class) and Blinko Felly (ranked 200 p4p, 168 weight class). Frost comes to the cage accompanied by SETH ECT - B.L.A.S.T. Blinko Felly struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 137.5lbs 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. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
