PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Adryan Preuss (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Miika Liukkonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Adryan Preuss 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. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Miika Liukkonen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
