PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Damian Prior (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Scott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Prior might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Drop the World - Lil Wayne. Damian Prior had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.6lbs, 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.
