PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Yossi Dalal (ranked 5931 p4p, 4272 weight class) and Mark Wall (ranked 430 p4p, 377 weight class). Mark Wall struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 147.8lbs 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. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
