PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ade Sanio (ranked 3108 p4p, 5401 weight class) and Juan Heredia (ranked 193 p4p, 309 weight class). Ade Sanio had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.3lbs, 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. Juan Heredia has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Ade Sanio's chin.
