PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ule Brennerd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tito Ortiz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ule Brennerd had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.8lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight.
