PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Yoshi Twister (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Audley Barristan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barristan has chosen Round the (Yoshi) Twist as his entrance music. Yoshi Twister had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.0lbs, 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. Yoshi Twister could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Audley Barristan's chin.
