Honour FC 1: Back with a Bang PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hank Hill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Timothy Mcgee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mcgee comes into a darkened arena with his song building. McGee kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Timothy Mcgee struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.4lbs 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. Timothy Mcgee 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!
