PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Snap Tastic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Al Pratt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Snap Tastic had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.4lbs, 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. Al Pratt has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
