PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Alberto Vasquez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Media (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alberto Vasquez had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.3lbs, 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. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
