PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Andrei Berdugo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Teddy LeBear (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). LeBear is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Care Bear Tv Intro. Teddy LeBear struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Teddy LeBear was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
