PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Billy Hill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Blood Wizard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Billy Hill had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.0lbs, 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. Blood Wizard has the eye of the tiger tonight.
