PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Julio Quintana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Steinberg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Julio Quintana had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.2lbs, 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 fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
