PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jimi Kuala (ranked 4486 p4p, 227 weight class) and Danny Manny (ranked 8544 p4p, 391 weight class). Jimi Kuala had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 137.8lbs, 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. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
