PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yan Ti San (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chaz Michaels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). San comes into the arena with Brainfreeze (part 1) - DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist blaring out of the sound system. Yan Ti San had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.1lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
