PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ali King (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harry Reignhard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ali King had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.0lbs, 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. Harry Reignhard told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
