PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ezio Auditore (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rocky Serra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Auditore's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The Heart of an Assassin. Rocky Serra struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.0lbs 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. Ezio Auditore has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
