PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Adolfo Fernando (ranked 2691 p4p, 371 weight class) and PutinYa OnYerKiester (ranked 2533 p4p, 354 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying OnYerKiester's choice of entrance music: Lite em up. Adolfo Fernando had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.2lbs, 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.
