PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Don Ovanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Reynaldo Da Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ovanov comes to the cage accompanied by Fairytale. Don Ovanov had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.2lbs, 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. This should be a great matchup!
