PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Gary Gray (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Tolken (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gary Gray had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.6lbs, 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. We have two fighters making their debuts here, so let's see who comes out of this one with their first professional victory.
