PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kayring Saiarr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Suchart Cobb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kayring Saiarr had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.9lbs, 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'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Suchart Cobb was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
