PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sig Sauer (ranked 5567 p4p, 2808 weight class) and Anderson Werdum (ranked 567 p4p, 365 weight class). Sig Sauer had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.3lbs, 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
