PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Super Salajudin Ii (ranked 166 p4p, 1756 weight class) and Spinning Fire (ranked 18 p4p, 206 weight class). Spinning Fire struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 266.1lbs 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. Super Salajudin Ii has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
