PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Game On (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Big Money (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 135lb limit. Game On came in at 136.3 and Big Money came in at 136.7 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get within the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. Game On looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
