PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tyler Barrol (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lotus Pod (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barrol comes to the cage accompanied by Christ Conscious . Lotus Pod struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 147.6lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
