PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aerymar Dracarys (ranked 3756 p4p, 4344 weight class) and Ivan Makarov (ranked 483 p4p, 522 weight class). Aerymar Dracarys had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.5lbs, 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. This should be fireworks!
