PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between George Huang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Josiah Scurlock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Huang comes to the cage accompanied by Special Agent Huang. The crowd seem to be enjoying Scurlock's choice of entrance music: New Day - Hollywood Undead. George Huang had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.5lbs, 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. George Huang has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
