PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Oliver Pronser (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mr Tumble (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Oliver Pronser had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.3lbs, 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. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
