PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sami Supermies (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clifton Barnes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barnes is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be. Sami Supermies had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.3lbs, 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. Clifton Barnes has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
