PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Cu IV (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lucas Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Cramberries - Dreams kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Cu IV 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. 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.
