PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tyler Evaby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Redgrave (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tyler Evaby had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.5lbs, 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. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
