PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Phasey Khat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Buster Stallworth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Phasey Khat had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.8lbs, 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. Phasey Khat looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
