BFF 33: Positive vs. Cain PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between JoJo Diaz (ranked 4771 p4p, 360 weight class) and Tai Musaki (ranked 6482 p4p, 412 weight class). Tai Musaki struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.9lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
