YFL 21: Meltdown PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brijwanth J (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eyam Silver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brijwanth J 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. This should be a great matchup!
