PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chris Graf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Calico Jack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chris Graf had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.5lbs, 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. Calico Jack has the eye of the tiger tonight.
