PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Carl Marx (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Gable (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carl Marx had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.7lbs, 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. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
