PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between ernesto geuvera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scott Tobin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 135lb limit. ernesto geuvera came in at 136.6 and Scott Tobin came in at 138.0 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get within the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
