PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Yodsaenklai Fairtex (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Guillermo Penderas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yodsaenklai Fairtex had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.1lbs, 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. Yodsaenklai Fairtex had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
