PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Fernando Poe Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brent Squires (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Poe Jr might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Through the fire and flame. Fernando Poe Jr had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.0lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
