REVO - Yarrenoka! PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alfe Turner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wojtek Brudasek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brudasek is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by LL Cool J - Its Time for War. Alfe Turner had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.3lbs, 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. Alfe Turner had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
