PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Minerva Wulf (ranked 768 p4p, 4172 weight class) and Chester Drawers (ranked 40 p4p, 216 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wulf might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sanctus Dominus. Chester Drawers struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 137.8lbs 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!
