PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Doko Dokov (ranked 3336 p4p, 4720 weight class) and Jackie Chan (ranked 319 p4p, 398 weight class). Doko Dokov had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.7lbs, 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. Jackie Chan is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
