Destiny 153: Jitsu vs. Nelson PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between The Stig (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brick Tamland (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tamland has chosen Afternoon Delight as his entrance music. The Stig had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, 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 really staring each other down here, as Brick Tamland enters the cage!
