PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pat Miletich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Benny Perez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pat Miletich 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. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
