PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pipe Juana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roronoa Marimo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marimo is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Zoro's Theme. Pipe Juana had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.1lbs, 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. Pipe Juana has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
