PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Katten Jansson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fleegle Bananasplits (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bananasplits has chosen call to prayer as his entrance music. Katten Jansson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.0lbs, 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. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
