PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Amon Amarth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robb Spewak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Amarth might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Anyway. Spewak is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The German National Anthem. Robb Spewak struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.6lbs 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. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
