PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Eddie Everton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and eddy franzon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Eddie Everton had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 188.0lbs, 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. Eddie Everton is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
