PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between ala yeo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chung Gum Hing (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). ala yeo had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, 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. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
