PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Chike Obi (ranked 1370 p4p, 2141 weight class) and Arriorus Adee (ranked 145 p4p, 215 weight class). Arriorus Adee struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.4lbs 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. 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.
