Dominance VII PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Emin Timurovich (ranked 5298 p4p, 379 weight class) and Jacob Cass (ranked 24188 p4p, 436 weight class). Emin Timurovich had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.4lbs, 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. Emin Timurovich looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
