PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Adam Blampied (ranked 3079 p4p, 304 weight class) and Justin Alvarez (ranked 4943 p4p, 430 weight class). Adam Blampied had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.5lbs, 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!
