PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Valdo Calamari (ranked 1145 p4p, 1565 weight class) and Bruno Bleak (ranked 140 p4p, 197 weight class). Valdo Calamari had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.1lbs, 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. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
