BKC NY 28 - Nicodemo vs Johns PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between jon cyrex (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Walter Moss (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). jon cyrex had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.6lbs, 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. Walter Moss will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
