PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jeremy Farmahini (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kees Adrianus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jeremy Farmahini had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.2lbs, 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. Jeremy Farmahini has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
