PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Johnjo Chipchase (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Ranson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 170lb limit. Johnjo Chipchase came in at 171.2 and Bob Ranson came in at 171.2 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get within the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
