KING OF FIGHTERS: ROUND ONE PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jonny Hank (ranked 7680 p4p, 294 weight class) and Peter Parker (ranked 3978 p4p, 207 weight class). Jonny Hank had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.3lbs, 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. Peter Parker is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Hammer (ranked 6987 p4p, 506 weight class) and Magnus Hjarvardsson (ranked 3685 p4p, 361 weight class). Johnny Hammer had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.9lbs, 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 pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
