PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Uchi Ori (ranked 3069 p4p, 3641 weight class) and Konner Mc (ranked 292 p4p, 330 weight class). Uchi Ori had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.2lbs, 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
