PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Van Der Veer (ranked 23284 p4p, 616 weight class) and Lazar Markov (ranked 4517 p4p, 416 weight class). Van Der Veer had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.0lbs, 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. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
