PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Matt Onemountain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Victor Emmersson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Emmersson has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 170lb limit. Matt Onemountain came in at 172.9 and Victor Emmersson came in at 172.7 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get within the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. 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.
