PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Albert Einstein (ranked 90 p4p, 1091 weight class) and Ikuma Arishima (ranked 17 p4p, 167 weight class). Arishima has chosen Fight Music as his entrance music. Albert Einstein had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.6lbs, 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. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
