PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Marc Zietsch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Benigno Aquino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marc Zietsch had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.3lbs, 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. Benigno Aquino is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
