OFC 268: Unchained PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jaius Garcius (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Solomon Wilson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Garcius might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Destroy Everything. Wilson has chosen Top of the World - By: Rascalz ft. Barrington Levy & K-OS as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jaius Garcius had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.6lbs, 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. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
