PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Jay Mendelson (ranked 6455 p4p, 6404 weight class) and Michael Yakamito (ranked 585 p4p, 581 weight class). Jay Mendelson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.8lbs, 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. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
