TIT 40 - Dennis v Baby PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Noah McGowan (ranked 3850 p4p, 472 weight class) and Denis Prager (ranked 7549 p4p, 702 weight class). Noah McGowan had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.3lbs, 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. Noah McGowan had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
