PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Cookie Monster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ibbe Ribbler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ribbler has chosen Madball - For My Enemies as his entrance music. Cookie Monster had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.1lbs, 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. Cookie Monster has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
