PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Gab Faber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sting Eucliffe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Faber is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. Gab Faber had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.0lbs, 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. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
