ABW 116 Scrotum - McGettigan PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Phill Brooks (ranked 7728 p4p, 599 weight class) and Artur Osinen (ranked 8154 p4p, 607 weight class). Brooks's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, This Fire Burns. Phill Brooks had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.2lbs, 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
