PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Matheo Rojas (ranked 802 p4p, 114 weight class) and Jonas Justesen (ranked 1846 p4p, 240 weight class). Rojas's entrance music is Rodrigo Amarante - Tuyo (Narcos Theme Song) . A fine choice. Jonas Justesen struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.7lbs 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. Jonas Justesen told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
