PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gadi Gadi (ranked 4677 p4p, 434 weight class) and Julio Dean (ranked 4947 p4p, 448 weight class). Dean has chosen Zack Fox- Jesus Is The One (I Got Depression) as his entrance music. Gadi Gadi had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.4lbs, 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. Gadi Gadi has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
