BAR 33 - Bubble Double PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Paco Taco (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Weedle Beedrill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Taco kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Far Away. Paco Taco had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.7lbs, 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. Paco Taco has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
