NAFL 8 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Both Paavali Kontiainen (initial weighin 188.0lbs) and Mehdi Kanaani (initial weighin 188.4lbs), had an absolute nightware trying to make weight for this fight. Even after an additional two hours neither fighter could make the required limits, so the fight organisers had no choice but to call off the bout. Very unprofessional of both fighters. |

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kari Mountain (ranked 3060 p4p, 25865 weight class) and Jack Neil (ranked 326 p4p, 445 weight class). Kari Mountain had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, 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. Kari Mountain has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
