PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Oderus Masatoshi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clint Wendell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Wendell's choice of entrance music: . Oderus Masatoshi had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.1lbs, 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. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
