PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dent Core (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Panda Floor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Core's entrance music is FedUp. A fine choice. Floor has chosen Fed Up as his entrance music. Core has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Panda Floor struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.3lbs 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. Dent Core looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
