PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Robbie Collins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roy Walker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Walker is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Tron. Robbie Collins had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.4lbs, 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. This should be a great matchup!
