PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Izzy Bangin (ranked 2564 p4p, 2476 weight class) and Raleigh St. Clair (ranked 261 p4p, 252 weight class). Izzy Bangin had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.5lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
