PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Sloa Poison (ranked 4867 p4p, 4992 weight class) and Medhi Cherki (ranked 340 p4p, 345 weight class). Sloa Poison had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.1lbs, 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
