PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nilz Artzing (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vedran Milosevic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Artzing comes to the cage accompanied by Rammstein - Ich Tu Dir Weh. Nilz Artzing had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.1lbs, 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. Nilz Artzing looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
