PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Yuri Tishenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bums Bi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bi has chosen Infected Mushroom - Killing Time as his entrance music. Yuri Tishenko had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.6lbs, 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. Bums Bi has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
