PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Agent Smith (ranked 3009 p4p, 22734 weight class) and Roman Francis (ranked 364 p4p, 521 weight class). Roman Francis struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.1lbs 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. Agent Smith has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
