PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Roberto Gomez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lee Pang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Roberto Gomez had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.2lbs, 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. Lee Pang is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
