PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Larry Jef (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Benjamin Veal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Larry Jef had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.0lbs, 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. This should be fireworks!
