PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Derek Patterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryder Eipper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Patterson comes to the cage accompanied by Ice Cream Paint Job. Eipper comes into a darkened arena with his song building. I Got A Feeling kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Derek Patterson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.1lbs, 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 look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
