PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Or Yeger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tim Labbe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yeger's entrance music is Amazing. A fine choice. Or Yeger had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.5lbs, 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. Or Yeger looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
