Bloodsport 44: Warriors Return PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sum Ting Wong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and kenny jordan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wong might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Architect - DJ Davey B. Sum Ting Wong had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.2lbs, 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 fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
