PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Davos Kung (ranked 8481 p4p, 619 weight class) and Devin Watkins (ranked 8236 p4p, 612 weight class). Watkins is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: What Happened to That Boi. Davos Kung had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.5lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
