PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sergio Moreira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frobisher Chaffinch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sergio Moreira had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.0lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
