PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between James Ferreira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Darrel Brasch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). James Ferreira had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.6lbs, 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. James Ferreira could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Darrel Brasch's chin.
