PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Burbank Bulldog (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Russian Experiment III (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bulldog comes to the cage accompanied by British Bulldog. Experiment III is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Come To Daddy. Burbank Bulldog had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.0lbs, 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
