PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Chong Li (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tay Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Li might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to dig it deeper just to throw it away. The crowd seem to be enjoying Smith's choice of entrance music: Let It Rock. Tay Smith struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 172.3lbs 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
