PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Chico Alvarez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ken Konsai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Konsai is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by The dull razor. Chico Alvarez had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.8lbs, 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.
