PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Pits (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bruno Masters (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kyle Pits had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.2lbs, 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. 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.
