PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fujimoto Hisakawa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ilir Vrajoli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fujimoto Hisakawa had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.5lbs, 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. Ilir Vrajoli will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
