UK 5 WAR OF THE WORLDS PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Will MacCallum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mac Paining (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). MacCallum's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Anthem for the Underdog. Will MacCallum 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. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mitch Cling (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyler Harper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cling comes to the cage accompanied by Indistructable. Harper has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Mitch Cling looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
