PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Edward Forester (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Filipe Bon Peza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Forester comes to the cage accompanied by Roar by Treat. Edward Forester had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.6lbs, 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. Edward Forester has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
