CWFL Masoe v Valutcho PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mark Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trevor Wilson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wilson has chosen Moby - Extreme Ways as his entrance music. Mark Johnson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.8lbs, 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. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
