PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tom Garcia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ste McGhee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Garcia might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Nelly - "Heart Of A Champion" Music Video. Tom Garcia had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.7lbs, 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. Ste McGhee is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
