PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sergio Moraes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ludwig Manres (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Manres is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Aqualung - Jethro Tull. Ludwig Manres struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.6lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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 Ludwig Manres was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
