PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Salyn Sarethi (ranked 1595 p4p, 1025 weight class) and Stryder Yuri (ranked 221 p4p, 144 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sarethi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Blue Ice. Stryder Yuri struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.7lbs 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. Stryder Yuri acknowledges the crowd's support as he enters the cage.
