PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Teco Tavares (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Battlecast Urgot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Teco Tavares had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.9lbs, 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. Teco Tavares has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
