PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tomas Veloso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luis McCousin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tomas Veloso had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.0lbs, 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!
