PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Will Ma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sid The Choke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ma's entrance music is Emmure - When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong. A fine choice. Will Ma had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.1lbs, 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
