PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jack Spriggins (ranked 3162 p4p, 347 weight class) and Tyrone Albber (ranked 5232 p4p, 491 weight class). Tyrone Albber struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.6lbs 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. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
