PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Karl Salmon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and George Sots (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Karl Salmon had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.8lbs, 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. George Sots has the eye of the tiger tonight.
