SA Fight 25: New Fresh Taste PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Karl Anderssen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ned Ryerson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Ryerson's choice of entrance music: I Got You Babe. Karl Anderssen had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.5lbs, 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. Ned Ryerson has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
