VIP 44: One Last Time! PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Craig Knight (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dan Moss (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Moss has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 155lb limit. Craig Knight came in at 156.6 and Dan Moss came in at 157.2 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get within the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. This should be a great matchup!
