PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Seth Hunter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ron Valdez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Seth Hunter had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, 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. Seth Hunter had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
