PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Godric Griffin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Throng Po (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Throng Po struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.0lbs 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. Throng Po told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
