PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kong Po (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sheer Bum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kong Po had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.2lbs, 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. Sheer Bum acknowledges the crowd's support as he enters the cage.
