PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Park Yo Ka (ranked 3309 p4p, 4164 weight class) and Kurt Long (ranked 399 p4p, 451 weight class). Kurt Long struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 187.6lbs 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. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
