PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Darrion Moss (ranked 6883 p4p, 3164 weight class) and Jestoni Hawk (ranked 711 p4p, 402 weight class). Moss kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Can't C Me. Jestoni Hawk struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.7lbs 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. Darrion Moss has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
