GEMMA Inferno PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Carlos Dias (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charlie Sideburns (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carlos Dias had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.6lbs, 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. Carlos Dias could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Charlie Sideburns's chin.
